I haven't shown you guys a casual 'what i wear on the weekend' post in a while, so I thought I'd show this cozy fall outfit. I love mixing stripes and plaid (as you may know from this post) so this is a go to weekend outfit for me.
 
These are hands down my go to fall boots. I initially grabbed these boots on a whim - while grocery shopping with my mom while I was visiting her! ha! - but I am SO glad I did. The "v" cut of the boots gives the illusion of length to your legs and is flattering on everybody!

Below is a round up of other "V front" boots that will have similar qualities in terms of lengthen the look of your legs. I gotta say the Joe Fresh ones are still my favourites though!





I had such a busy weekend and am definitely tired today! Does anyone else find October to be the busiest month of the year? 4 of my closest friends have their birthdays in October, my niece and goddaughter do as well, and then throw in Thanksgiving (Canadian) and Halloween and the month just seems to fly by! I hope you've all had a great month so far! See you back here on Wednesday (...at which time I will hopefully have caught up on sleep!)

This weekend is Thanksgiving long weekend in Canada. As such, I wanted to do a post focused on all things Thanksgiving - both fashion & food. And; it gives all of you American readers extra time to think about your thanksgiving outfits and eats!!!

The three outfits above are all outfits that fit my "Thanksgiving criteria". In other words, they scream "fall" and are comfortable enough to both run around in, and to allow you to eat a ton in haha.

And just for fun, I also wanted to talk a bit about Thanksgiving food. mmm. Below are the recipes I plan on trying this Thanksgiving. For these and more recipes, be sure to follow me on pinterest!

November 22nd update for my American readers: I tried the Apple Cider Sangria recipe and it was AMAZING. Everyone loved it! I definitely recommend this delicious drink. I also made a non-alcoholic version by replacing the white wine with carbonated water (I have a soda stream) and the vodka with a splash of cranberry juice. I also increased the cinnamon by a pinch!

Have a great Thanksgiving to anyone celebrating this weekend!! I am so excited for the long weekend! Some friends of mine are hosting a giant Thanksgiving potluck on Monday and I cannot wait!

Despite it being a holiday Monday in Canada I WILL still be posting on Monday (and it is an awesome work outfit - you don't want to miss it!) so I will hopefully see you all back here on Monday. Cheers!


 

 

Wednesday Wants

Happy Wednesday readers! This week's wednesday wants, as you can see, are a bit of a smorgasbord** of things. No real theme here, just a bunch of great items I've come across this week. I hope you enjoy them! I think my personal favourites are the Kate Spade dress on sale and the pink statement necklace. This necklace is PERFECT for so many spring outfits!

Have a great day everyone, I'm off to workout! My friends and I have started this crazy new work out plan and i am LOVING it so far. 3x a week of strength training workouts plus 2 walks or low intensity things. Today I've got the "full body" workout so it is gonna be a tough one! Wish me luck!

** Side note: It took me an embarrassingly lo
ng time to spell the word "smorgasbord". I actually tried at least 5 variations before I got the correct one. Ridiculous.
